Unhappy neon install

hi,
im planning on installing 2 of these - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/24CM-Under-car...ht_1946wt_1139 - led strips under the front bumper of my 09 350, as you can probably tell i am a complete newbie to this so i need to ask a few questions:

how do i get the wires into the dash from the engine bay?

if so how do i take the dash apart?

it will be switched (hence the dash question) but should i draw the power from the battery or an accessory power source?

and if i have to remove the battery will that cause any problems?

thanks for the help

Those LED dont look good at all and why green ?

Edit:

To answer your question,

hook it up to your side marker.

maybe hes prepping the mod for christmas.

lol all jokes aside, do what andy said and wire it to the side markers. look at one of klinh's threads, he did an LED mod too

and its not complicated at all btw.

side note. i saw them carry the euro styled LED at kragen for 24.99 came with an optional switch.
